Hi everyone

i brought 2 worlds 2 last night and after i installed it, it will not run, all it will do is show the hour glass and use like 54% of cpu i have tried waiting ect and it never loads ,,

there was a few issues i had too

1st

i had the two worlds already and well this new install killed my phis x and it would not boot till i reinstalled the old
two worlds phys x on that disc ,,, later i got the NVIDIA PhysX Legacy System Software from the site

which then let me boot my old two worlds but the the two worlds two will not run at all

i have tried reinstalling it now 12 times all i get is the hour glass icon and it never boots

this is the only game i got on gog that i had an issue with,, and now im a little worried about this since this one has caused me problems with a game i had ect ,

but i did fix the old two worlds it runs again,, but i also noticed that theres a dx 10 and 9 in the gog folder for the new two worlds two , but both have the same loading hour glass icon and using 54% cpu but they both never boot the game,,

in the task manager i never see a game client being run ect but it shows theres 54% mem use happing ,,
its really weird,

and that hour glass never stops till i reboot pc, i have waited 25 min and still no game running or showing in task manager ect and mem stays showing that 54% use from me clicking game to run it ?

im on the older xp 32 bit sp3

and in the game info before i brought it , it said ithe game can run on xp but never said anything about dx so i thought being xp its dx9 since thats what xp uses , not dx10 so not sure whats happing ,, can anyone help thie new gog user?

love these old games brought a bunch but this one is my first non working one here :(


P.S i cant seem to post in main two worlds area its not a green icon so i posted here not sure why ?

Madshaker, I know this post is over a year old, but I've found the solution to our problems, assuming you haven't upgraded your OS yet.

The problem is that the TW2: VE shortcut is automatically launching the game using DX10.

If you go the game install folder, locate the .exe file named "TwoWorlds2.exe" (the one that looks like a golden bandana) and rename it to "TwoWorlds2_DX9.exe".

Launching the game using that shortcut should work immediately. I made a copy of that shortcut and pasted it on my desktop.
Do not touch the .exe file named "TwoWorlds2_DX10.exe".

This is the only thing that worked for me. Installing the newest and the legacy PhysX drivers didn't do anything for running the game in Win10.
